Just now paid my balance, no issues. I only use my card a few times a month and really haven't had any problems that I recall.
Got a tip for us?

I agree Apple should be responsible but the mechanics of the service is the responsibility of Goldman Sachs. I too was surprised when Tim Cook went with them. It is well known Goldman Sachs have not been the pillar of responsible financial practices. But I imagine Goldman Sachs offered Tim the best deal. Ever wonder how much Apple makes off the cards?
I was very hesitant to go with an Apple Card. I finally decided to try it. Since getting the card I have had one issue with charges showing up on my card that I had not made. I called Apple and they directed me to used the text messaging service through the app. I assume I was messaging a Goldman Sachs employee but either way they took care of the problem. They issued a new card number which showed up immediately in my app. They marked the transactions as suspicious and in about two weeks they had reviewed the charges and refunded my card. With any other credit card I would have been without my card until they mailed me a new one in a week or so. Since the physical Apple Card has no number on it there was no need to send me a new one - although I have never used the physical card.
But after seeing all the issues this year with people not able to order on launch day and use their Apple Card, I can agree Goldman Sachs dropped the ball. What happened was unacceptable. I was glad I had no issues using my card on launch day but would have been very unhappy (pissed!) if it had not worked.
Believe it or not, not every other potential partner would even be willing to allow the card to work the way it does. I strongly suspect the reason they chose GS wasn’t the financial terms, but their willingness to do the instant cash back, to allow apple to control the customer relationship, etc.
Well, it seems that for folks experiencing problems with the card, Apple has lost control and seems to have little interest in regaining it.
That's a complete fabrication.
The MicroSloth money was a payment so that Apple would drop the suit against them because they copied QuickTime code in Video for Windows, among other things. Apple had $1.2 billion in cash when all of that went down, they weren't anywhere close to bankruptcy.
They also run the bank, the internet, the Canadian healthcare system, and Brother Bruno’s II pizzeria (but not Brother Bruno’s I, for some reason).
Unless Brother Bruno I delivers a pizza late. Then, it will be Apple’s fault.
Only problem I’m having with the Apple Card:
“WHY IS IT STILL ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE US of A 🇺🇸 ?”
“WHY IS IT STILL ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE US of A 🇺🇸 ?”
It's only available in the USA because Apple is not a bank. The card issuer, Goldman Sachs, is only licensed to issue credit cards in the USA.
But that's the tip of the iceberg. There are countless agreements that have to be made in a given country to allow an Apple Card to be used.
The regulated interchange fees don't make it worth it in other countries anyways. MasterCard and GS earning 0.005% of the purchase amount doesn't seem profitable to offer the exact same card in the EU. You can thank the politicians for that.
I've had nothing but problems with Apple Card. TIP: DON'T EVER DO AN INSTALLMENT. REPEAT -- DON"T EVER DO AN INSTALLMENT. It's the biggest nightmare and Apple has essentially shifted the majority of operations to the INSANELY bad Goldman Sachs -- worst most incompetent bank I've ever used and I'm 51.
If you have been experiencing issues with paying off or managing your Apple Card today, you are not alone, as Apple has confirmed ongoing issues.
"Some users may not be able to apply for Apple Card, pay their bill, lock/unlock their physical card, request a new or replacement physical card, or request a new card number," reads a notice posted on Apple's system status page.
The issues began within the past few hours and affect only some cardholders. We'll update this story when Apple indicates the issues have been resolved.

The issues are not all resolved. I am still unable to request a new physical card as of 10 seconds ago.
I have a feeling that Apple just doesn't care about the Apple Card much anymore. I mean all the graphics still show an iPhone X/11 series device.
